Yuuko Ichihara - Shawl #5

pretty butterfly brooch!

Glued the top beaded butterfly to the plain black one and, with a small scissors, trimmed the sides so they're even. Look at it sparkle!


+ I enjoyed this little project very much, it was a good start of the year. I'm glad I didn't go on with the laser cut perspex butterfly!
- It's a bit wonky, and because it's big, it's not the easiest brooch to pin, but I love it.

THE CUNNING PLAN
Still thinking about the shawl... and the skirt (but it's been hard to find a nice black twill and even harder a silky, but not very shiny purple. Ideally it would be kimono silk, but murasaki (purples) are rare and the probability to find some with the seigaiha (waves) pattern, is very unlikely. Not that I don't prowl eBay like a hawk.
